Opened in summer 2024, our new Hamberley Neurocare home in Southampton will provide rehabilitation, recovery, and residential care for people living with complex neurological conditions.

We are looking for passionate, caring individuals to be part of our new home.

What you'll be doing:

  • You’ll care for people in the way a family member might care for someone in their home.
  • Whether you’re supporting residents with personal care, helping make their bed, supporting them with their meals, spending time with them to understand their care needs, arranging a family meal with their loved ones or taking them to the beauty salon; you’ll always be doing something different.
  • You’ll assist with activities daily living, providing support and building relationships with residents by spending quality time together as a friend and companion.
  • You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team

To apply you will need:

  • Minimum of one year's previous experience working as a healthcare assistant
